Abstract: In RM05-32-000 FERC amended its regulations to implement the repeal of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 and the enactment of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. The FERC-65 information collection tells FERC which entities within holding company systems are Commission jurisdictional. It is submitted by those entities meeting the definition of a holding company found in 18 CFR § 366.1. The information collected is: the identity of the holding company and of the public utilities and natural gas companies in the holding company system; the identity of service companies, including special-purpose subsidiaries providing non-power goods and services; the identity of all affiliates and subsidiaries and their corporate relationship to each other. Without this information, FERC would have no assurance that the actions of all jurisdictional entities within holding company systems would receive the required regulatory oversight. FERC uses the information in the FERC-65 to track the corporate identities of public utility and natural gas companies as well as the organizational structure of business unit constituents in holding company systems. FERC needs this information to discern whether the reported businesses fall within its jurisdiction.
